December 19, 2016 01:00 PM Eastern Standard Time

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Automatic,
the company bringing the power of the internet into every car on the
road, announced they are participating in the Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality’s new program called DEQ Too™.

Automatic is a San Francisco-based connected car company that builds
connected car adapters that plug in under the dashboard, sync with the
driver’s smartphone, and monitor vehicle data in the Automatic app.
Working with the Oregon DEQ, Automatic’s existing adapters can now be
used for DEQ too using the company’s new AutoSmog app. In the
Portland and Medford areas of Oregon, cars must go through DEQ’s
emissions check every two years. Whenever an Automatic customer chooses,
emissions-related data will be transmitted from their car directly to
DEQ who evaluates the data and makes the ultimate pass/fail
determination. Motorists can conveniently access their test results at www.DEQToo.org.

The smog check app, AutoSmog, is a free app that provides an easy way
for consumers to take care of smog check using Automatic connected car
adapters. AutoSmog works with both the Automatic Pro, Automatic’s
flagship adapter with 3G, always-on connectivity, or the Automatic
second-generation adapter. For more information, please visit www.automatic.com/apps/autosmog

“This is the first program of its kind in the nation and we see it
revolutionizing the vehicle emissions testing industry. Oregon DEQ’s
decision to embrace the private sector and innovate in the smog check
space is highly commendable,” said Jerry Jariyasunant, Co-Founder of
Automatic. “We’re excited to be working with them to empower consumers
to use the Automatic adapter to help maintain clean air in Oregon.”

After meeting certain technical specifications, terms and conditions,
telematics companies like Automatic can enroll in the program which
leverages private sector technology to provide Oregon’s growing
population with more vehicle emission testing methods. Motorists can
choose to take care of their DEQ test at Clean Air Stations, purchase
an Automatic Pro, or briefly plug-in a device at locations such as
repair shops and auto dealerships. While DEQ does not endorse any
provider or method over another, Automatic was the first company to
enroll in the program.
